Essential security and performance upgrades are to be applied to the central Research Data Storage system (sometimes known as Isilon). A period of maintenance will take place on 08:00 – 12:00 on 9th December.

Data stored on RDS is NOT at risk during this maintenance. However, connections to the storage system may be affected in the following ways:

— Login sessions and jobs running on the central HPC platforms (e.g., CSF) may pause but will resume once the maintenance has taken place. If using these platforms you may wish to check on your jobs after the maintenance period but no further action should be required.
